Jiangcheng County There is a Liang carpenter who is in his fifties. He is skilled and very famous in the local area. People invite Liang carpenter to go to weddings, funerals and houses.
The carpenter not only lives well, but also has a kind heart. If someone’s table, chair and bench are broken, it’s not enough to ask him to repair it.
Everyone says that he has obtained the true teachings of the ancestor and has a peerless secret book. The magic in this book can bring good luck to people and curse people. However, no one has seen what this book looks like before. Some people will inquire intentionally or unintentionally, but Carpenter Liang is always silent and unwilling to say more.
Carpenter Liang did not marry a wife, so naturally he had no children. However, he successively accepted more than ten apprentices. The apprentices went their separate ways for three years to learn Chengdu. Now only one apprentice named Li Yuze is staying by his side.
Li Mingze is an orphan. He was seen by Carpenter Liang when he was wandering on the street. Carpenter Liang saw that he was pitiful, so he took him home and taught them how to learn carpenter skills.
Li Mingze is a man who is grateful for his kindness. After learning the skills, he did not leave his master, but stayed, saying that he would be filial to his master and give him his old age and see him off.
Carpenter Liang agreed to let him stay. The life of the master and apprentice was busy and fulfilling, and very happy. Li Mingze said to Carpenter Liang: "Master, don't go out to work in the future. I'll make money to support you."
Carpenter Liang has been doing carpenters for half his life and has a deep affection for this industry. As long as he can move, he will not put down the tools in his hand. He said, "Master knows that you are filial, but you are uncomfortable all over. It's better to work."
A hardworking person cannot rest and he can't let go of the career he loves. Li Mingze did not force himself when he heard the master say this. He did not force himself. He would do it as long as he was happy.
Li Mingze learned craftsmanship with Carpenter Liang at the age of fourteen. It has been four years since then, and he is also eighteen. In ancient times, at the age of eighteen had reached the age of discussing marriage, but he was an orphan, and no one could talk about the mediation. Fate is hard to come by, Li Mingze is not in a hurry, just let it go.
One day, Carpenter Liang went to the city to make furniture. When he passed by an intersection, he heard a group of people talking there, saying that Wang Yufeng, the daughter of the rich man Wang family, was sick, and was very strange. No doctor in the whole city could find out the cause of the disease. In order to save his daughter, the rich man Wang said that if anyone cured Wang Yufeng's illness, he would betrothed Wang Yufeng to whom.
Someone said, "I heard that Wang Yufeng is so beautiful, like a fairy. If she dies, wouldn't it be a pity!"
"But she is very sick and cannot even find out the cause of the disease. How to treat it? I think no one in Jiangcheng County can cure her illness!"
Carpenter Liang learned from the discussions of these people that this Miss Wang was very sick. She was sleeping in the daytime and was like crazy every three o'clock in the middle of the night. She threw a plate and a bowl, and chased her when she saw someone. She would beat her up when she caught up. She was completely different from the weak woman in the day.
Carpenter Liang thought to himself and went to Wang Yuanwai's house. Wang Yuanwai had heard of Carpenter Liang's skills for a long time, so he quickly invited him into the house and asked him to diagnose Wang Yufeng's illness.
Carpenter Liang walked around the house and said nothing, but asked Mr. Wang to buy some wood. He made a recliner for Wang Yufeng, saying that he would sleep on the recliner every night and that he would be cured if he had not had any seven days of illness.
Wang Yuanwai was very grateful and said, "When my daughter's illness is cured, I will let you get married."
Carpenter Liang said, "It's just a matter of raising hands. Don't take it seriously. Let's forget about the marriage!"
Wang Yuanwai heard that, "A gentleman's word is as good as a horse. My Wang Yousheng is the most honest. Since I have made a promise, I will definitely fulfill it. I don't want to be a person who is unvirtuous!"
Carpenter Liang said, seeing that he said this, he didn't say anything else, so he went back.
Sure enough, Wang Yufeng's illness was cured in less than seven days, so Wang Yuanwai went to Liang's house to discuss the wedding date. Liang Yuanwai thought that his apprentice Li Mingze was also at the age of trial marriage, and was very compatible with Wang Yufeng, so he discussed with Wang Yuanwai and said that Wang Yufeng would be betrothed to Li Mingze, but Wang Yuanwai disagreed.
He said angrily: "Isn't the little girl worthy of you? What does it mean to push and stop it like this?"
Carpenter Liang saw him like this and said: "I am over fifty years old, but I am not worthy of the lady!"
"This matter has been decided like this. I will choose a good day to send my daughter to Carpenter Liang. Just wait to be your groom!" Soon, the auspicious day came, and Wang Yuanwai sent Wang Yufeng to Carpenter Liang's house in
Haicheng County people heard that Wang Yufeng, who was as beautiful as a fairy, was going to marry Carpenter Liang, who was over 50 years old. Everyone came to see the fun and surrounded Carpenter Liang's house.
On the night of the bridal chamber, Carpenter Liang looked at his beautiful wife like a flower and was a little dazed, and the woman in front of him actually turned into that familiar face. For more than 30 years, he has never forgotten his wife, which is why he has never remarried.
"Husband, am I that good-looking?" Wang Yufeng saw Carpenter Liang staring at her face and kept looking at her, and her little face turned red and lowered her head shyly.
"Ruhua..." Liang Carpenter called a name in his heart, couldn't help but untied his clothes and became a couple naturally.
After the incident, Carpenter Liang woke up. The person in his arms was not the woman he loved deeply. That woman died decades ago.
After getting married, Wang Yufeng was gentle and considerate to Carpenter Liang and was very nice to Li Mingze. She cooked and washed the two of them every day, and kept the house in an orderly manner without any maid.
people's hearts are changed, you are true, and Carpenter Liang saw that Wang Yufeng treated her sincerely and loved her very much.
Li Mingze also respects this beautiful teacher's wife very much. She will help her do housework when she is fine, and her teacher's wife screams in a short voice.
When Carpenter Liang was not at home, Wang Yufeng said, "Don't call me my master's wife, I'm old!"
Li Mingze said, "What's the name if you don't call my master's wife?"
"We are the same age, just call me my name..."
"How can this be? You are my master's wife, and calling you is disrespectful to you." Li Mingze said.
Wang Yufeng saw him with a serious look on his face, and said angrily: "Look at you, you are so young and gentle, why are you so careless!" As she said that, she twisted her waist and entered the room.
On this day, a bricklayer came to Li Mingze and said that Linxian has a big job and it will take more than a month to come back. He asked him if he would go.
Li Mingze was about to say go, but Carpenter Liang said, "Mingze stay at home, I'll go!"
After Carpenter Liang left, Li Mingze went out to work during the day, and when he came back tonight, Wang Yufeng had already prepared the meal. Every day, there was wine and food, which was very rich.
Wang Yufeng said: "You are not young anymore. Haven't you ever thought about marrying a wife to live?"
"I thought about it, but I am an orphan, who would want to marry me!" Li Mingze suddenly poured a glass of wine and said.
Wang Yufeng said: "You have skills and are very talented, alas..." Seeing her sigh, Li Mingze asked her why she sighed.
"When you meet the right person at the wrong time, will you regret it for the rest of your life?"
She drank a glass of wine and continued, "How great would it be if the person who saved me was you?" Li Mingze did not answer the conversation, but continued to drink.
After three rounds of wine, the dishes were five flavors, both of them were a little drunk. Li Mingze grabbed the cup from Wang Yufeng's hand and said, "Don't drink anymore. If you drink it, how can I explain to the master?"
Wang Yufeng said, "Don't worry about me, I still have to drink, drink..."
"Can't drink anymore, I'll help you to rest!" Li Mingze helped her up, forced her to the bedroom, and said, "You have drunk too much, go to bed early!"
Wang Yufeng suddenly pounced on Li Mingze's arms and started crying.
"Mingze, can you take me away? I want to live with you... I fell in love with you the first time I saw you..."
Li Mingze was stunned and wanted to leave, but Wang Yufeng hugged him tightly.
"How can this... be it? You are my master's wife, how can I do something that I am sorry for my master?"
Wang Yufeng cried and said, "You treat him as a master, but they may not treat you as an apprentice. Your master has obtained the true teachings of the ancestor, but he has reservations about you..."
Li Mingze heard what Wang Yufeng said, "I have always treated my master as a father, but he doesn't trust me..."
"Yes, he didn't treat you as his own person at all. He has never mentioned that secret book to you, right? But I can help you get it, As long as you get that secret book, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory in this life..."
Li Mingze said: "My master has unique skills, how can you get that secret book?"
Wang Yufeng said: "Do you really want it?"
"Yes, after you get it, I will take you away. We will never be separated in this life!"
Wang Yufeng did not tell how to get the secret book, but said: "If you really like me, can you stay with me tonight?" She said and went to untire Li Mingze.
Li Mingze held down her restless little hand and said, "Yufeng, I'm responsible for you, so I can't take this step easily. We'll be together when we get the secret!..." The two sat in embrace each other and chatted until the third hour before they separated.
In less than a month, Carpenter Liang came back early. It was already the third update when he returned home.
He saw the door closed, so he quietly entered the yard from the back door. When he walked to the bedroom door, Carpenter Liang heard the voices of two people coming from the room. These two people were none other than Wang Yufeng and Li Mingze. Carpenter Liang remained silent after listening to the conversation between the two and left quietly while the night was dark.
A few days later, Carpenter Liang turned around again. The day after he came back, Li Mingze went out to work in the city.
Carpenter Liang was idle and had nothing to do, so Wang Yufeng asked him to accompany her to buy rouge in the town. He met a gentleman in the town, who was a famous local magician.
When Liang Zhuan passed by the God's Purchase, he called out and said, "You will die on the Winter Solstice tomorrow!"
Liang Zhuan said, "You said I will die on the Winter Solstice. How did I die!"
God's Purchase stroked his beard and pretended to be infamous and said, "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed!"
Wang Yufeng said, "Don't talk nonsense here!"
The gentleman said, "Don't talk nonsense here!"
The gentleman said He said, "The final decision will be announced tomorrow."
Wang Yufeng said to Carpenter Liang: "She is a liar in the world. Don't believe his words! Her husband is very healthy and will definitely live a hundred years old!"
Carpenter Liang was worried and said, "Life is seventy years old. I am sixty years old this year, so it is not impossible to die tomorrow!" When he returned home, Wang Yufeng comforted him very much. Carpenter Liang ate a few bites of food and fell asleep.
The next day, Carpenter Liang was frowning, which made Wang Yufeng very worried. The story of his death on the winter solstice spread among neighbors, and everyone was talking about it, worried about Carpenter Liang.
Wang Yufeng said, "I will definitely be fine if I accompany you today!"
Carpenter Liang said, "I feel panicked, I want to go out to drink!"
Wang Yufeng said, "You don't want to go anywhere today. If you want to drink, find someone to come to our house to drink with you!"
In the evening, Wang Yufeng made a table of dishes, poured two pots of good wine, and invited all the neighbors to their homes, asking them to drink with Carpenter Liang to eliminate the fear in his heart.
Carpenter Liang had something to do in his mind and kept drinking, but in a short while he drank too much.
Wang Yufeng said to several neighbors who were drinking: "Drink slowly, I'll help my husband into the room!" She helped Carpenter Liang into the room, and Carpenter Liang fell asleep on the bed.
Wang Yufeng came to the main hall and continued to pour wine for several neighbors. The few were drinking when she suddenly saw Carpenter Liang running out with her hair disheveled and running towards the door like crazy.
Everyone was shocked when they saw it and quickly got up to chase him, but Carpenter Liang ran too fast and everyone was left behind far away.
Gang carpenter ran to the river and inserted it into the river and disappeared. Everyone jumped into the river to fish, but found nothing. Wang Yufeng sat on the shore, crying and robbing the earth, and the neighbors helped her back home.
"I didn't dare to let my husband go out today, but I didn't expect that I still didn't hide..." Wang Yufeng said crying.
The neighbors comforted her, saying that everything was fixed, and let her be mournful and adapted to the changes, and then she left in a heavy mood.
It was already the fifth day of the day. As soon as the neighbors left, Wang Yufeng looked at the pit filled under the bed and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
She couldn't wait to dig up in the corner of the wall, and soon she dug a wooden box. When she opened the box, she saw a yellowed classic. Wang Yufeng took out the classic and looked through it, a smug smile flashed across her face.
The next day, Wang Yufeng asked someone to send a message to Li Mingze, saying that his master committed suicide by jumping into the river and asked him to come back quickly. Li Mingze hurried back home and came to the river to find Carpenter Liang's body. But he found nothing and knelt on the shore and cried.
At night, Wang Yufeng closed the door and the two discussed in the room, saying that in order to avoid everyone's suspicion, they would wait for a while before they could fly away!
When the two were chatting in a hot mood, a black shadow quietly flipped into the room from outside the window and stood behind Li Mingze. The person coming was Wang Yuanwai. He held a sharp knife in his hand and was about to stab Li Mingze.
At the same time, there was a person under the window outside the bedroom. Seeing that Wang Yuanwai was going to kill Li Mingze, he kicked open the door and came in.
People came shouted loudly, and the king's outer hand trembled, and the knife fell to the ground. Several people looked at the people at the same time, and they were so scared that they were scattered.
The person coming was none other than Carpenter Liang. Wang Yuanwai and Wang Yufeng were in a panic and were about to climb over the window to escape. But as soon as they climbed onto the windowsill, they were bounced back by something and fell to the ground. It turned out that Carpenter Liang had already set up a mechanism outside the bedroom.
"You, the surname Liang, are you not dead?" Wang Yuanwai said with his blood-red eyes.
Carpenter Liang said, "Wang Guochen, I have been looking for you for so many years, and finally found you..." As he said that, he walked up to tear off the face of his face, revealing another face.
Wang Yuanwai's real name is Wang Guochen. He is the senior brother of Carpenter Liang. At that time, their master Carpenter Lin had a daughter named Lin Ruhua. She was as beautiful as a flower and loved by everyone.
Wang Guochen and Carpenter Liang fell in love with Lin Ruhua at the same time, but the person Lin Ruhua liked was Carpenter Liang. When Carpenter Lin was dying, he gave the secrets left by his ancestor to Carpenter Liang and entrusted Lin Ruhua to him.
Lin's approach aroused Wang Guochen's extreme dissatisfaction. When the two got married, he sneaked into the bridal chamber to kill Liang, but Lin Ruhua blocked her husband and died.
Over the years, Carpenter Liang has been looking for Wang Guochen, and Wang Guochen changed his favor and changed his name to Wang Yousheng. In order to get the secret book, he asked his concubine Liu Qiaoer to become his daughter, named Wang Yufeng, and used the art of resentment to make her sick. He said that whoever cured her illness would marry him. He knew that Carpenter Liang was kind and would definitely come to cure her illness, and then married her concubine.
In order to get the secret, Liu Qiaoer pretended to like Li Mingze, and Wang Guochen disguised himself as a wise man, saying that Carpenter Liang would die on the Winter Solstice, and asked Li Mingze to go out to work before the Winter Solstice. He quietly returned on the evening of the Winter Solstice, hid in the bedroom and killed Carpenter Liang, and buried it under the bed and dug a hole in advance.
Buried the Liang carpenter, and Li Mingze put on Liang carpenter's clothes, then ran out with his hair disheveled to jump into the river, making the neighbors feel that Liang carpenter died of jumping into the river. Then they were killing Li Mingze and walking away with secrets.
What Wang Guochen didn't know was that Carpenter Liang had already known his background before getting married, so he followed his apprentice's plan. Li Mingze pretended to obey Liu Qiaoer's arrangement, hid in the bedroom and killed Carpenter Liang, and then put on Carpenter Liang's clothes and pretended to jump into the river. In fact, he did not kill Carpenter Liang.
Wang Guochen and Liu Qiaoer thought Carpenter Liang were dead. They were about to kill Li Mingze to silence him, but unexpectedly, Carpenter Liang suddenly appeared and had already set up a mechanism outside the bedroom, making it difficult for them to escape.
Wang Guochen and Liu Qiaoer touched the mechanism and collapsed on the ground with weakness. Carpenter Liang and Master and disciple Li Mingze tied them up and sent them to the county government, and the two received the punishment they deserved.
Carpenter Liang was revenged and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Before leaving, he did not leave the secret book to Li Mingze, but instead asked him to be a good carpenter because he did not want to see someone die for the secret book again. Li Mingze also understood the master's painstaking efforts and kept his teachings in mind.
Later, Li Mingze became the most famous carpenter in the local area, and married and had children, living a warm and happy life.
This story has nothing to do with superstition, and is mainly to promote folk culture and punish evil and promote good.
